Lets go!

 

Dropped the oil pan today and waaa-laaa saw some shinny stuff also saw some chunks too that scared the bageezees outof me. Those chunks turns out to be silicone( rvt gasket maker) haha what a relieve. Ill finish it tomorrow and see how it goes. Fingers crossed

 

Ooo that much silicone can plug up oil passages causing that knock you have. If its fine metal you will be ok. If its little metal bits than something is wrong. Maybe bearings.

 

Yea it was bearings and just fine metal. I was laying under the truck and blow compress air into the oil holes and a good amount of oil got all over haha It should be an easy job today just the cross member left today and oil change and i think thats it.

 

hope it fixes it. and you said today?? gees its already too hot for me right now

 

FISH, FISH, I WANT SOME FISH! hahaha..>Hurry up and ship me some trout, guys! hehehe.

Glad it's HOPEFULLY a not so dramatic issue, Roger! Hoping for the best

 

Hot? O yes it was super hot today! But under the truck feels kinda cooler. Haha when i crawled out and the sun beam hit my face i felt like a vampire burning away hahaha but got it done and sound is still there. Doesnt relly bother me just like to be on the safe side. I did take the truck camping and it did good. No problems at all




Hey mark i have a fish in the frig still i think not a trout tough. U want that one? Haha might have the frozen frig teast haha

 

It was too hot yesterday in town so i left to the lake to cool off and found a pretty nice spot. Popped it in 4x4 and started driving over rocks and super soft sand and took a couple of snap shots

 

Dude, Roger, .... it's looking SICK! Great shots on the Lake Playa!

PS> HEY, hmmmmm.... is that rear axle Truss factory?

 

Thanks mark, the truss is after market. I pulled it from a 4runner from the junk yard. $11 i think it was. haha when it got darker and cooler tge water felt warming haha kinda weird never happen before. But the again it was 106* yesterday haha

 

nice pictures. where did you go

 

Thanks toyo. We went to millerton lake on the madera side. You ahould try out some bass fishing there. Its pretty nice

 

Glad to see you got things straightened out. I am hoping to get the fridge filled full of fish for the winter. As hot as it has been here, they just are not biting.

 

Thanks terry!!! What are you guys fishing for out there in missouri? You guys have walleyes out? Thats one fish i've been wanting to fish for

 

DrivIng down the highway at about 60mph and the truck started to rumble out of nowhere. I totally thought my bearing had spun. But not. Haha pulled over n one spark plug wire was hinging on the side and sparks was shoting out the cap.

Also fixed mu dome light. Only took me 3 years to get to it hahaha had a bad power contact. Sawthering didnt work well at all. Yhe plastic started to melt so i melted some wire and stuck it under the tap touching the metal plate? That goes to the bulb. can anyone see where it is?



And waaalaaa!!!



Only the "on" switch works not the door. Sometimes the door dont close all the way so i can live woth it haha

 

Ekk how the plug pop off? Glad it wasn't another bearing. The dome light is nice to have at night. I replaced the front one on mine with new lens. Made a huge difference, much brighter but stock bulb so the warm white color is easy on the eyes

 

YES, how did that happen???? lol

BTW, .... I stopped even looking at the LED's for now... the 2nd Gen 4runner Dome Housing fit and is working GREAT! (Same kind of switch as yours.... Mine works on the door, but not rubbing it in, just saying.... Curious why yours will not... Just the door button indicator thingymadoer? haha)... It's PLENTY bright... Bright enough to read from, bright enough to see in the back seat(more than before, oddly(?)... And yet, ...THE REAR? that's another story... That "Deck Lamp" must mean "1/25th Scale Model Boat-Deck Lamp" hahahah... Cuz IT'S WEEEEEEEAK! YET, it's better than nothing until I install another dome light kit with LED Festoon on the rear window wiper motor cover(has to be LED....or it will melt the plastic, I'M SURE OF IT! haha. Lil domes get HOT!

TOYO... you ordered a Dome Cover from toyota? Just figured you'd have to buy the whole apparatus. But it's just a cover, which often cracks/semi-melts, lol... So hmmm, lemme know? PLENTY of light now...but why not improve on it if I can, right?

 

The contact on the door switch is Corroded? Thats what happen on the "on" switch also but i used a sand paper and brushed it off i guess i didnt get all of it off. Haha. Whete did you get the len cover from. Itll be nice to have a good amount of light. I can just imagine your guy's runner with all that extra space where mines just a tiny cab. Haha

I had no clue how the spark plug wire slipped off.this was the second time already. Dam these after market wires. Got to get my hands on some oem wires.

 

i got a complete dome assembly from toyota. not sure if you can just buy the cover. im sure you can. let me know, i can get you my price for one

 

OOPSIE, ...double post... MY BAD!
